You won't believe me, but I'm finally setting a copy aside for Saif

Finally done with the spines. Took me too long, but it's done.

"Back at 120k it was stupid to go leverage but NOW is the time. Now is the time to get a Bitcoin backed loan 😃" I read this a lot recently. This is exactly how people get rekt. They see a 50% drop and they think It's now basically risk free to go all in. But It's like in boxing. The first punch is rarely the one you have to worry about. It's the second, third or maybe even fourth punch that will knock you out. So what happens is you go leverage but you realize there's an other punch so you go even harder but there's an other punch again so you go harder and before you even know it you're liquidated and your life is ruined. It's the temptation. If you feel the temptation to go leverage at 60k you're going to feel this even stronger at 30k. If you succumbed to the temptation the first time you're likely to do it the second time. This is how the devil get you. Look, if There's something I learned over the years is I have no idea. Idk what's going to happen with the price. For all I know this is the bottom and people who go full leverage now will win big. But I don't know. It could also go on to rek more people. It's possible betting your life on black 21 at the roulette will make you win everything. That doesn't mean It's not retarded to do this. All I'm trying to say is be careful and try to resist the temptation to take leverage to aquire coins you didn't work for. "Stay humble and stack sats" makes the most sense in moment like this imo. Stack the coins you deserve not the ones you want. That is truly risk free.

I'm starting to feel excited about Bitcoin again you guys. Real dips like this is always the beginning. I feel it good. Let's shake away the over leveraged shitcoiners so we can continue to build on solid foundations.

Micheal Saylor lost the entire GDP of the United States by himself. Let that sink in.

God dang I know I say this often but I'm so lazy. The truth is I'm just a normal person that love results more than work. If I loved the work as much as the results I'd be so much more ahead.

Have you been margin called on your Bitcoin backed loan yet? How many more sats must leave your custody to top it off?

I've been working on this these past few days. Those golden accent of the books aren't from a die. It's not as easy as putting a gold foil sheet on the books and lowering a die to apply it. The design is produced and reproduced again and again. Each book has it's own sheets who must be worked on. Carefully peeling away the excess without taking away the goof part with it. Is this the best technique? Not necessarily. But it's the one that I can do and the one that proves the most work. I have enough for 20 books in there.

250 books/year over 4 years. That's the goal. After that we'll see.

I don't like when people use God and faith to generate engagement on the social media account they use for their career. It quickly appears very performative and I find this very disrespectful for actual faith.

People are getting margin called on their "Bitcoin loans" lol

I hope @Pegah will comeback. If she can't make my rugs, I lose one of my goals.

In my opinion, you shouldn't talk about your art like it's a shitcoin. You shouldn't tell people number will go up because it's scarce. You shouldn't tell people they should fomo. You shouldn't make it about the reselling potential. Art is not bought to be flipped. The true art collector wants to own. Forever. He values it more than anyone else. When you treat your art like a shitcoin, you don't attract art collectors. You attract shitcoiners looking for the new best shitcoin. You attract people who do not want to buy it because they like it. But simply because they see an opportunity to make a quick buck. The creator should not decide his work is Bitcoin. He should stay humble and produce until the world come to that conclusion. Don't make it into a shitcoin. Stay humble and produce.

"Gold crashed so hard we lost the entire GDP of the United States!!!" We lost it? We lost what exactly? If Bitcoin was to pump to 1000 million$ tomorrow just to crash back down 1 million $ would people be screaming we lost the entire GDP of the universe in one day? What does it mean? What have we lost? Some paper gains have been wiped out. Nothing more happened.

Look, there's two ways this can go down. Either we win and they lose, or they lose and we win. The truth is inevitable.

A high notoriety figure in Bitcoin once told me "people don't take you seriously because bla bla bla". Today these people have no choice but to take me seriously. Undeniable. It was inevitable.

I don't like to "simp" that way. "Keep it cool" you know. But getting paid on-chain by The Saif House is the coolest thing.

@BitBrat🥀 how did you stumble upon my old super based notes?

The second book I made was an epic failure. I don't know how I did my measurements but I ended up with an immense gap of the text block from the cover. It looks ridiculous.
